and then drove home. He was not on
good terms with the keeper of the poor
house, SO exchanged rs few words as
possible.
When they reached home Rose
found her mother anNiously awaiting
| their return. She judged from the
| look of anxiety upon her mothers
face that there had been stormy
afternoon at home. The father was
not TO be seen. and she thought best To
ask nothing about him at present,
Come in, Rose" said Mrs. Stuart,
leading the way to her Sitting-room.
No words were spoken until the wraps
of the girl had been removed. and then
the mother anxiously said:
did you see her?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
AT the Jail"
"Oh, Rose, have they really got her
in jail?"
Yes, mother, though she is permit
ted to stay with the family of the
jailer."
Mrs. Stuart was silent. Her large
eyes were fixed on the carpet. She
wanted to ask something more. but al
most feared to. At last she said, in
tone of desperation:
Rose, how does she bear it?'
with Christian resignation and
fortitude, rlother Oh, mother, l
never saw n more angelic picture OF
Christian faith than that girls face.
From the Bible she gathers hope and
happiness. even in the darkest hour
She admits that the bracelet was found
in her possession, but says she can not
account for it. She expects imprison-
ment. and yet she says there is such a
world of consolation in the Scriptures
that she is willing to forgive those who
were first in her prosecutions.
Mrs. Stuart sat long gazing upon the
carpet. The lighted lamp shonc
bright in the room, and an expression
of pain could be seen upon the good
woman's face. She was Inundated.
There was a great struggle going on in
her breast, and she was yet undecided.
:" Poor girl" she sighed. do you
think she is innocentP"
" Yes, mother, know it."
How do you know it?" asked the
father, gruflly, as he entered the apart
ment, how do you know any thing

:" Yes, they do, yes, they do" said
Mr.. Stuart, with frown upon his
face. They always do that to make
ninnies think they are too pious to do

Rose. knowing it was useless TO try
to get on friendly terms with her
father, arose, retired to her room, and.

girl, went to bed.

The Cause

Of all his sufferings, "enough to kill
dozen men," was the failure of his kidneys
and liver to properly perform their func-
tons. He was permanently cured by
using Ayers sarSaparilla. Mrs. George
Edwards, Boston Highlands, Mass, was
cured OF liver and bilious troubles by
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Warren

Many cases like the following could be

After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla freely for
month, his health was restored, aud his
original vigor regaiued.

The last session Of the forty-nlnth
congress. which closed its labors at
noon on Friday last was distinctiVeiy
a working session. Many important
measures have been enacted. Prob
ably some of them are i'll advised,
and doubtless great deal of decidedly
hurtful and vicious legislation was
alone prevented by the restraining
hand of the President. But, taken to-
gether, the work Of congress and the
President since the first Monday In De
cember last has resulted in the passage
of many laws in which the country
stood greatly in need, and which will
ultimately be of great benefit to people
generally.
